With Google being a top leading brand within the IT industry offering a wide range of services ranging from email to online maps. It doesn’t come as much of a surprise to find their latest instalment of a new Internet browser.

Google with its massive online reputation is known for leading in every market. However as far as Internet browsers are concerned, Internet explorer has been the browser of choice for many years, with Firefox trailing closely behind.

Google are approaching this with a completely new idea, rather than looking at what’s currently available, they plan to redesign the “internet browser” entirely. Integrating its existing services such as Google Maps, this browser should prove to be a popular hit.

The browser is called Chrome and the beta version is available now to download.

What do the competitors think about the new browser?

I was actually surprised to discover Mozilla almost welcomed the idea of Google’s new browser. They commented on Google’s strategy suggesting they have a clear idea of how things should be, and have many smart people thinking how to make things better.

Microsoft was not so welcoming to Google’s new browser idea. Clearly this would raise the competition; Microsoft used this opportunity to reassure us that the new Internet explorer 8 will be the people’s choice and went on to remind us of its new features.
